Soldier Dimensions in Combat Models
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to review research and to recommend an action plan which provides possible techniques for adjusting Army combat model outputs for different soldier dimension (human factor) conditions. This study has been conducted because current combat models do not adequately portray human factors. We reviewed previous research and determined which soldier dimensions are most likely to influence soldier performance on the battlefield; how different soldier dimensions affect different types of performance; what scales have been used to establish predictive relationships between soldier dimensions and soldier performance; and the extent to which soldier dimensions are currently portrayed in Army models. We present research methodologies for implementation in simulated battle and simulation devices, for using data previously collected by others, and for surveying combat veterans.
